I saw that video on Comcast Wheel this morning...good way to start the morning...cup of coffee, delicious chocolate filled donut, brutal and barbaric hanging...they appeared almost casual, of course the masks were a nice touch as was the scarf-like item they put around his neck before the noose.
For some reason, the first verse of a song came to me:
"They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the pastports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row."
